The car looks cool, but the wheels...reminds me of the big gauty rims on a Donk or something.

BTW...Beretta is 2dr...Corsica is 4dr

HAHAHAA its Dorn's Corsica!

Yeah I know the owner, and those other Berettas have a crap body kit on them.

Haha, it does look like a Lumina Eurosport, Z34, or Baretta GT!!! But either way I really like it!

The rear spoiler really does its job and really looks ridiculous covering the top of the tail lights.

I think a HSV tail light swap should be the order of the day. Any Choppers care to give it a shot?

Thanks for the compliment on my beater. Not the usual choice of car to mod... but I tend to mod all my cars no matter what they are. Beretta Z26 front and rear bumpers, Beretta GT spoiler, Z34 hood vents and those are 17 inch Kyowas... They would look much better if I went ahead and lowered my car about an inch... I admit... they do look off a bit... But that is my "junker" so it doesnt have to look super nice.. hahaha Just a car I fiddle with...

Thanks for the compliments!

Yes... Dorn Rules!

Ewwww.

That style bodykit looked good on the older Commodores for a reason - they were boxy as all hell. This, people, is like a grandmother wearing a miniskirt. Not suited for each other at all.

asylum · 07-27-2008, 03:06 AM

big improvement, but still a hideous fibreglass kit

RedVee8 · 08-17-2008, 09:21 AM

bump

A couple of HDT VE s from All Holden Day

UTE

VH Group3 copy

raised rear spoiler leaves rear lights clear

mikmak · 08-17-2008, 10:12 AM

That's a better effort

asylum · 08-17-2008, 10:04 PM

that red one looks muuuuch better!

any shots of the rear? or is it just like a stock SS?

Nah, sorry. Son was driving the camera on the day and he didn't hear my request of a photo of the rear.

But, just as per SS - but better than the VC style in that the raised spoiler doesnt cover the top of the lights.

yeah its a pity theres nothing they can really draw from the rear to make it a retro version other than that monster wing

not that the rear of the stock SS is bad, maybe just adding the Calais-V/G8 lip would be enough

mikmak · 08-18-2008, 12:30 AM

Saw this one last week. Hopefully he still has the original wheels...if it's not a replica.
Numbre plates where PB05VC. Probably worth more than the car.

asylum · 08-18-2008, 01:14 AM

another photoshop while i'm bored

i like the small extensions on the rear of the white promo car, just couldnt find a good pic so i could add them to this one but i really think the subtle lip will suit the HDT's much better
